USS Cahuilla, Military museum ship in San Pedro, Argentina
The USS Cahuilla, later renamed ARA Comandante General Irigoyen, measures 205 feet in length and features diesel-electric General Motors engines capable of 16 knots speed.
During World War II, the vessel operated in the Pacific Ocean as a rescue tug and convoy escort, facing Japanese aircraft attacks near Okinawa in 1945.
The ship honors Matias de Irigoyen, who served as Secretary of War from 1815 to 1819 and made significant contributions to Argentina's naval development.
Visitors can explore the naval museum from Thursday through Sunday between 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM throughout the year.
The vessel participated in rescue operations during the Falklands War and later became Argentina's third naval museum ship, accumulating 400,000 nautical miles in service.
